The Miracle of Mystic Dampness

As we all know Italy is a country rather prone to the miracle. I'm not saying that some things really make you look up rolling the old eyes saying "was it really necessary for You to arrange this situation?" even if you have never been aquainted with You. Others on the other hand, are simply those kind of events you would find at the edges of gaussian curve.
What is water? I'd say slippery molecules that don't like the cold.
What is vapour? Slippery molules moving faster than the ones I've just told you about. Can we see the wholy hand in all this movement? Can we guess the meaning of all this?
To cut a long story s, as Bertie would say, we have to travel to the core of south Italy, to the town of Gravina where pilgrims have come from the outer lands to see the Madonna Of Humidity. A miraculous manifestation on the window of the church. They see the hand...

Gauss, nevertheless would have said:
cold outside + damp and hotter inside=casual condesation of vapour on dirty window.
I say: Madonna needs a hair cut.
Villagers say: ohhhhhh....
I add: well, feel free of feeling better, and if this makes you tollerate life in yourself and yourself in life a bit more, take a bite: holy or not H2O can't hurt...
